Adobe Suffers Massive Security Breach

I’ll hit the highlights. Or low lights if you’re Adobe. Hackers broke into their network and the net result is as follows:

  • Source code for an as-yet undetermined number of software titles was stolen. This includes its ColdFusion Web application platform, and possibly its Acrobat family of products.
  • Nearly three million customer credit card records,
  • Login data for an undetermined number of Adobe user accounts.

A statement about these incidents can be found here and here. A separate customer security alert for users affected by this breach is here.

Needless to say, this is not good. If you have an Adobe user account, I would be looking at the security alert and take the steps that they suggest as this breach cannot be taken lightly.
